Usually people respect the First Principle rather than skillful devices. But in this sutra, Buddha put emphasis on skillful devices instead. This means that Buddha put emphasis on mercy.

And to find each one's own position, responsibility, and meaning of life, and to find the joy of life in the activity near at hand, or the previous attainment, is the most important point. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-F - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
